Farming tactics
Zul'Gurub is a 20-player raid, but on x5 a well-geared group clears it with fewer. Thekal is a two-phase fight: he first feigns death and revives allies, then rises with two priest companions. Kill all three at once or he resurrects. Details are in the ZG raid guide.
x5 farming tip
Because ZG resets every three days, discipline matters: schedule a regular Thekal run and grind Zandalar Tribe reputation for rings and enchants at the same time. While hunting the tiger, collect ZG's iconic loot and pre-raid BiS pieces.
